I remember walking between lectures once when it was tipping it down outside, and seeing everyone hunched over looking tight and uncomfortable as they walked through the rain.
But it's not as though looking miserable about the rain made and difference to the situation.

You can be very open and honest upfront by saying you're looking for something permanent and not just something casual. Most women see that more as a turn on if anything, the ones that get turned off you don't want to be your wife anyway. Nevertheless when you start to date you should really ease into getting to know that other person and if it's someone you'd want to start a family with and just just be intense and stress about "securing"/"aquiring" a wife

All philosophical thought is premised on cognitive bias. Anyone interested in uncovering truth should question these premises, not in the way Descartes did, but through an actual psychological investigation. The rationalists, who supposedly denounced feelings and intuition to arrive at logical, empirical, statistical truth, were in the greatest error, for the they did nothing but convince themselves that their biases were entirely rational.

sodomy is inherently unfulfilling anon
i spent some years of my life in a homosexual relationship and while it was fun and i loved him, it was always overshadowed by the thought that it could never really advance to the same level as heterosexual couples since we could never have children together. in that sense it always felt like it wasn't really real, i was left with a feeling of "is this really it?" it broke my heart knowing that our options were basically to raise someone else's kid or live alone forever
in the end i'd say it's not worth it, it might be fun momentarily but in the end you'll just be sad at the limits of what you can get out of a relationship like that while still being emotionally invested in the other person and unable to leave them

So I downloaded the Chinese spyware app Tiktok. Is this really what teens spend all their time doing? It's nothing but a bunch of attention-starved depressed zoomers desperately seeking to upstage each other with increasingly pornographic displays. Everyone puts each other down in the comments and the only popular users on it are because they're attractive. For them it seems to be sort of a training area prior to creating an OnlyFans page. The memes make 4chan's looks like high culture. It seems engineered to capitalize on fragmented, short attention spans and brief dopamine spurts . People attempt to have the stupidest political arguments on the app, but because you are muzzled to only record for 1 minute, it's impossible to say anything of substance. And so everything devolves into the most basic level of discussion.

I can't help but feel this is all by design. If the bar wasn't so low already I would be half inclined to believe that this is some kind of Chinese psyop to cause brain damage and mental health problems in foreign children to undermine the west.

finding nonproductive relationships unfulfilling is not the same as orienting your life around reproduction - it was just some observations on my lived experiences at the time that it happened
while i was not religious at all at the start of that experience, it was actually through that that i began to wonder if christians were right about sodomy, because i realized that if homosexual relationships were so empty even in the absence of promiscuity or other kinds of overtly degenerate behavior, then it must be that they are inherently so instead of incidentally so. this realization was one of the first that eventually led me to believe exactly what you wrote, that finding god is the only meaningful goal in life, and i decided to forgo all intimate relationships or sexual activity to devote myself to exactly that
that said, i don't think scolding people for wanting kids is a very good thing to do. what could be pathetic about the act of creation? isn't that a sacred thing?

i wonder if it's a fairly recent thing for the US to be so divided and discordant that the president himself is unable to do anything about a single city, or if it was always like this and the idea of unified nations in western countries is but a childhood innocence.

This series of events has done nothing but make China look like the big man. What will tbe world face under its future hegemony?

I am easily consumed by doubt even regarding my core beliefs. It seems only mild convincing is needed to get me to believe I might be wrong.

I read and espouse plenty of platitudes and memorize many things - but I never truly think to myself. Still I am surrounded by normies who say I'm "smart" - but that can't be further from the truth.

Categorically, I am subhuman. I will never reach greatness, I will never contribute to human progress in a meaningful way. I'm too dumb and unfocused for any serious discipline, my life is but that of endless hedonism. Yet I have "believed" in a philosophy of elitism - that is, the smart, strong, adaptive have every right to rule over and direct the future. But I myself am not an elite and never will be. Why do I cling to life? Everything around me is incredibly complex, deep, and I can't fucking grasp any of it. Why do I cling to life? My own seems pointless. Like I exist to be a midwit with enough awareness to see what's going on, but not enough to truly understand and make something of it.

I moved away from my family and have only touched another person once in two weeks. Last night I had a two hour discord call with my best friend and that was the first time I'd socialised since moving.

I feel kind of cooped up in my new place, more exiled than emancipated. Work is going okay. I'm not the most motivated or focused person but my boss tells me I'm the most productive member of the team and have the best quality; it really doesn't feel like it though.

I've been having a lot of muscle tension problems lately, I think it's all psychosomatic though. I have a doctor's appointment tomorrow, maybe I'll see if I can get a referral to a therapist. God knows I could use one.

I thought starting to transition would make me feel more comfortable in my body, but all it's done is made much more aware of how sexually dimorphic my body is and it's been a distressing experience. Hopefully I'll lose my virginity this year

Today I took a long hike, as has been my habit for the past few months, and I passed by a couple who looked almost exactly like another ex-girlfriend of mine and her husband.

I'd argue psychology, in particular, isn't founded in hard science at all.
Also, it's clear that you're unaware that the true split didn't happen in the Renaissance, but with Socrates.

I have no taste
I don't mean, necessarily, that I have bad taste. I mean that I don't really have any taste at all. It's clear that my appreciation for something is driven almost entirely by outside factors: Sometimes an average work seems amazing and revelatory, other times a remarkable work is - while clearly good - "just good", and only rarely when I give up on a work it's not because of any flaws in the work itself, but because of my poor attention span, a distraction in my life such as extra work, or so on.

I'm not sure how to work around that. I want to write, but I'm incapable of exercising the proper judgement. I don't know what is good. I'm content to go through almost anything, and the things I do drop I accept I dropped through no fault of their own.

One time I took shrooms and I felt happy for 3 days after. Each subsequent day after the day of the trip, the happiness receded a little more until I was back to my same weak self. For those 3 days I felt something I've only felt once before and that was 7 years prior where I was on LSD for 8 hours. It was self-peace. It was not self-peace in the sense that I was okay with who I was, but it was that the anxiety, the hatred, and the hopelessness just faded. It was gone for 3 days, and then returned. I wish I could feel that again.

It makes the hard days more difficult knowing there exists such self-peace out there. I wanted to die almost every day of my life except for 3 hours once, and then 3 days 7 years later.

I wish I didn't need someone to feel happy. My energy is always so anxious and it's crippling. How does one resolve the abandonment issues, the co-dependency, the self-loathing? I have confidence in my abilities, I just never feel enough.

I've never dated a girl and I'm 24. The last girl I was even emotionally close too was in middle school. Ever since, I've just avoided them out of habit unless I have to work with them and even then I just keep it formal and cordial. I'm trying to look for women in my Catholic diocese but I realize that just because I'm booksmart doesn't mean I can translate that to attractive personality traits (I'm also black so that doesn't help any) and the pious, intelligent girl I'm going after (while not uncommon in the place I'm looking for them) is just unrealistically out of my league. I might just become a priest and just put one of my gifts to good use, since I am a fan of Classical and Medieval Philosophy (despite being a Math grad student). I feel like God is expecting me to be happy and have hope in a situation where there's no hope to be found rationally. I have honestly given up hope of being happy in this life and I hope at least I can do His work and grin and bear it.

Not trying at all will doom you to failure. From your post you are cordial and have interests.

If you don't want to talk to the girl you're specifically interested in, talk to the older generation. I think you should just ask her out, but talking values and interests with the stations of the cross/charity organizers/tea lady crowd is your next best option.

A lot of Catholic parents are willing to put up with a lot of eccentric people as sons/daughters-in-laws so long as they are Catholic and raise the children Catholic (I guess to a reasonable degree. Ganbangers and drunks aren't likely to pass the faith on).

Yeah the first thing people ask is WHAT ABOUT THE CHILDREN?? Catholic women get a lot more leeway in who they can marry because it's assumed they're going to raise the kids Catholic anyway. They can marry gangbangers and drunks so long as they show up for the baptism, especially as the kids will have godparents and sponsors confirmed in the Church. That's why Jews and atheists also get a pass. But a Protestant might "corrupt" the kid. It's weird as fuck. Especially because there's specific prejudices, like they get worried a Baptist might rebaptize the kid when they're older.

He was drunk driving and I know he could have killed a whole family so I don't have any problem with the cops taking him in, and the cops using deadly force when he aimed the taser at them is at least borderline understandable, but still. He reminds me of my dad somehow with his mannerisms. He seems like a dopey average dude.

The anniversary of my cousin’s death is quickly approaching, and I unfortunately had a full blown break down in front of my mom when I was back home visiting last week. It’ll be three years next week since he passed away. He was only 27. Growing up, we lived in the same duplex building, so he was more of an older brother than a cousin in terms of how close we were.

The last few years of his life we weren’t as close, he was really struggling with a heroin addiction and I was away at college. Our last conversation was making plans to see a movie together.

How the fuck do I get to a point where I’m not overwhelmed with grief at the mere thought of him? I’ve had family members die in the past, but this was a loss that hit me in a way that I’ve never felt before, true devastation. It’s caused me to distance myself from my family because I can’t keep myself together. My mom called me out on being a shitty older brother to my younger siblings when I was in the midst of my breakdown, saying that while they’ve been forced to stay home and confront their grief I continue to run away. She’s right. Now I feel not only grief but immense guilt too.

I’ve thought about writing about those few days of him in the hospital, all of us praying for a miracle but knowing deep down that this was the end for him. His mother was so strong in the face of her son dying before her eyes. But who would want to read that shit? I feel a deep sense of narcissism at the thought of thinking that my words can not only convey the magnitude of loss that was experienced, but also that they deserve to be read. maybe writing about it is my only way of confronting my feelings and purging myself of this grief, more likely though I’ll still be heartbroken.

Sorry if this shit is not what the thread is for, I need to get it off my chest and I only feel comfortable discussing this behind the shield of anonymity.

hi anon, i’m still grieving the loss of my little sister 10 years on. i empathize with you and i’m sorry you know this pain, too. i am the eldest sibling and this temporarily strained my relationship with my sisters, and permanently altered my already rotten relationship with my mother. if you’d like, i can say a prayer for you and your cousin, and i’d certainly read anything you wrote about your grief, if you’d share it here. heaven knows i write about my loss frequently on here. love you.

I appreciate you reading my post. I often wonder how my mom is so strong, she raised me as a single mom for the first 8 years of my life after my father died when I was an infant, and my cousin was almost like a son to her. She has so much more trauma than me yet she never has failed at being there for me. I like to think I have that strength in me somewhere, I just haven’t been able to find it yet. Maybe it’ll come with time.

I’m sorry to hear about your sister, I’ll be sure to send a prayer your way as well. I extend the same offer of reading what you write that you offered me, perhaps through your words I can compartmentalize my own feelings. I love you too.

As a child-teen I had severe social anxiety.
Then my parents divorced, my mom tried to kill herself, etc., lots of bad stuff happened.
I was forced to deal with things on my own.
Ever since I slowly started dealing with people my own way. It started slowly, with one guy asking me one time if he can cut ahead of me because he's in a hurry even though I had one item (I needed) and he had a pack of cigarettes. I looked into his eyes and flat out told him,
>"No."
Another time I was behind this middle-aged woman. This guy came asking her if he could buy a pack of smokes without waiting in line. I fucking snapped and told him that she's not the only one waiting in line and so has no right to give permission. Then I told her that if she insists on giving him her spot, then I'm going to pass in front of her, since I never agreed to it - which I did. Fuck 'em. What did they expect me to do, just simply roll over? That I wouldn't take measures to defend myself?
I've learned that respecting others without being respected is the biggest meme. These fucking savages will walk all over you. Also fuck smokers. I know you're reading this right now, yes, you - FUCK YOU, DUDE.
All in all, I've felt happier than ever. Before I used to get heart palpitations just at the thought of saying the wrong thing when paying for my groceries. Now I will actively argue with people at the slightest provocation if I feel I'm getting fucked.
Before, I used to get stressed out from the smallest thing. I found it hard to fall asleep because I knew I might have to stand up in school the next day. Ever since I accepted that you will probably make mistakes and you should never worry about what strangers think, I've slept just fine.
Stand up for yourself.

thank you so much. your prayers are appreciated. i’m still processing all these years later because it just doesn’t make sense. life taken before it should be makes no fucking sense. what a needlessly cruel and awful thing it is to lose someone with so much light and life inside. childhood cancer is terrible, addiction is terrible, and all we can do is pick up the shards after these events turn our world upside down and shatter our lives. know it can be indulgent to repost yourself but i made this post in april around the anniversary of her death and it speaks a little to the attempt to develop that strength that we wish would carry us through and i think you may relate:

i’ve been hit really hard by some unaddressed (but old) grief and this combined with the disruption to my usual routine (going to class, library) created by quarantine has generated a powerful depression. i wrapped her death up symbolically in so many other things—my mother’s approval, my capacity to love, my fitness as a caregiver...but it wasn’t my fault that she got sick, cancer doesn’t give a fuck how much life you have left in you. i think i’m feeling so much this year around the anniversary because i’m finally strong enough to confront these feelings. i’m my own person and i don’t need to chase approval that i will never receive. i did all i could do. i really did. she died anyways. one day, i’ll love someone as fiercely as i loved her, my guardian angel. i’m driven by a fundamental desire to do right by others. i want to help as many people as possible. one day i will be a good parent, a good spouse, a good friend. i want to be vulnerable in that way. i want to know how to be vulnerable and sincere in that way.

You have to put yourself in those situations, I guess. I didn't have a choice at the time. I was left all on my own with no one to call upon, so it was either go out and get shit done or starve and get kicked out of my house.
While I would by no means call myself a fan of Jordan Peterson (and I don't know much about psychology in general), I do remember he explained how treatment with phobias is often done through willing exposure, gradually. For me it wasn't gradual, but for you it could be.
Like, imagine you're so arachnophobic you can't even take spiders in a game. First, you watch some docus about them. Then you try to get in the same space as them IRL with a dividing glass between the two of you. And slowly you raise your comfort level until you get to the point where you could touch one.
I guess the difference is that a spider could conceivably hurt you in some cases. But, seriously, what harm could some dumb cashier you're never going to see again have on your life? What could you possibly say to fuck it up so badly that you'll be ashamed in her eyes forever? It's almost nothing. It's just an irrational worry, but I know what you mean, since I've been there.

Behold the modern man. A man who has lost the virtues and social ties that gave him a sense of purpose and belonging. He exists only as a consumer, one individuated consumer amongst 7 billion. He is born too late to experience the real luxuries of consumerism, and born too early to be a part of the rebuilding of a new order. He always feels as if something is missing in his life, something he may fill with alcohol, casual sex or internet usage, but the feeling of emptiness underlying these worldly activities never goes away. He lives in an eternal present, feeling no connection with the triumphs of his ancestors, yet he at the same time lives in a constant anxiety surrounding an uncertain future. Deep down he craves responsibility, a cause to fight for, a group to belong to, yet the cynicism and irony which pervades his world prevents him from ever truly becoming invested in any of these. This is the end result of a two centuries long experiment of Enlightenment liberalism, and it is at the same time its clearest refutation

Ferris Bueller was a bad movie. Betrays the narcissism, hedonism hyper-individualism, selfishness and myopia of American youth culture. It’s not self-conscious about it, it’s happy to be narcissistic and myopic just for the sake of making little jokes.

Ferris Bueller doesn’t care about the world, he cares about himself. He doesn’t believe in “-isms”, he believes in himself. It’s a huge meme that Bueller is the bad guy in the movie, but even that perspective falls for the myopia that Bueller is even a character in the movie. He’s not a character, he is the movie. The problem is motives – every character in the movie is motivated by Ferris Bueller, including Ferris Bueller. And Bueller doesn’t want anything for himself except for pleasure.

His sister wants Bueller to be punished for his actions. The principle wants to catch Bueller breaking the rules. Cameron is the only one in the movie who might ostensibly have his own motives, but the arc about his cold materialistic parents is only resolved by Cameron taking responsibility for Bueller’s mistakes. So the arc is never resolved, just replaced with deference to Bueller’s hedonistic pleasure.

The Wikipedia page says John Hughes wrote the movie in a week, and it shows. The movie isn’t about Bueller at all, it’s Hughes’ wish-fulfillment, and it takes place in this very real world where high school students are zombie cogs in education about an outside world which they cannot touch and are entirely indifferent to, a problem which is only resolvable for a single individual at a time, and only if he views himself as narcissisticially, hedonistically isolated from the world, motivated by his own desires, the champion of his own parade.

Every fucking American movie is like this. Every fucking American thing (if it created by an individual, and not by committee) is hedonistically composed for the ego of the person writing it. It’s fucking bizarre, because they’re all filled with metaphors and images, but these symbols always resolve into evil morals. And it's always careless, like the writer doesn't even know what he's making.

I've just realised that not being able to focus on one thing for extended periods of time isn't the worst thing ever. ADHD medication turned me into an obedient zombie doing what I was supposed to do as told by outside sources. It gave me focus on what I was told to focus on when I couldn't. Not what I personally wanted to do but what was expected of me to do.

I've found that if it's something I like or want to do I can focus on it for quite some time before I inevitably get bored but then I move to another thing I like and do the same. I'll eventually return to previous thing with a renewed interest in it. This may seem scattered but it is how I operate and I'm really coming to accept that. It annoys some people I know but it's me. I don't mean that in the, "I'm just speaking my mind and I'm an asshole!!" way. Just that I've learned and I'm still learning how to deal with myself at almost 30 and I'm okay with it now that I've kind of let go of the expectations of others when it comes to me?

Honestly? A feeling of passion that I could not control. As soon as I saw the tumblr thot I was amoured. The more I got to know her the more fantasies about her, about us filled my daydreams. All of her features were captivating, all of her flaws forgivable and somehow contributing to her charm. I was never properly crazy about my girlfriend, treating the relationship like something that was right to have and work on, but with this woman I felt like I could spill my heart out. However, like every person with dyed hair she has a turbulent home environment and ever since the quarantine she disappears for days, barely keeping contact with me. I don't know if it's not a good time for her, or if she is bored with me. And yet, the affection she gave me when I was with her, gives me such a fond feeling that I wouldn't even care if I find out that it wasn't genuine and if she flips boys like this day in and out. I had a small taste of love & vulnerability and its a memory that I will hold on to for the rest of my life.

Well, what can I say. I used to believe that relationships are a balance of passion + work, and that you can make yourself passionate for someone who respects you and is a good partner for you. I don't know if it's just me, or if I'm being really stupid, but I don't see a point in even trying and making sacrifices if the passion isn't there. Why put yourself through that? All people I've seen in my life get old and decide to settle for someone for a large part out of comfort, but why do that while you're young and you can afford to be guided purely by passion?

>does the tumblr thot know you left your gf for her?
She knows things were already kind of not working with me and my gf beforehand, and I still blew her off many times to do whats right and try repair my relationship first. So no, I don't think she received a particular ego boost from it.

i honestly would not be so sure about the ego boost thing. women love taking other women's men—even when they don't particularly care about the guy. was she communicating with you more frequently when you had a gf/were in the process of disentangling yourself from your gf? if so (and esp. now that the communication is reaching a dropoff point) she probably was only after "the chase" or whatever. you underestimate the fact that a lot of two-brain-celled whores do things like this simply because they can.

Fortunately, she was thirsting for me even before she knew I had a gf. But she did not seem phased at all when she found out, and pushed some boundaries when it came to flirting that put me in an awkward position. I don't know if it's a red flag or a compliment ...

If I wasn't brainwashed with cultural conservatism on /pol/ I would embrace my whorish nature and not bother maintaining a relationship I'm not ready for, and therefore spare heartbreaks. But a question to you, what would you choose between whoring around and arranged marriage? A year ago I'd choose the latter, but now I'd rather kill myself than live without the excitement of love and seduction.

He’s looking down at his sandals. His father gave him those sandals. He’s staring at the page of a paperback Bhagavid Gita. He bought it after basic training. Running away from his thoughts and responsibilities, he finds himself in an outdoor shopping mall. Literally and figuratively, as he’s always finding himself. Finding himself looking for a way out most of the time. Old friends are memories. He was the negativity they were told to expel from their lives. This particular bench isn’t comfortable. In this moment, outdoor shopping malls are evil.

Everything is connected to everything else. Each decision consciously made in vain. Each moment of sobriety and sanity is uninteresting.

My dick, or maybe the part of my mind that controls my dick -- regardless of the specifics, something just stopped working. I can scroll through as many pictures of voluptuous anime girls as I want and the greatest reaction that they get from downstairs is a slight motion little more than a drunken nod. I don't get horny (i.e. feel the desire to fuck or to jack off) like I used to, but the desire to get horny is still there, and it's killing me.
So now I consult with you great minds of /lit/. How do I fix this? I don't think that nofap is necessarily the answer; similar things have happened before and nofap never cured them. What do I do?

I miss sex with strangers ... it was meaningless and necessary for my mind to work. Just to walk into an 18 year old's bedroom, watch them undress, then hold them down and push into their soft warm bodies. My cock is thick, too, it completely fills a tight hole and hits the back of their throats every time.
But I always had shitty lungs and they landed me in the hospital more often as a teenager.
But as an adult, I got into much better shape, I got stranger, and had sex almost every day. God, the bodies that I've tasted. It would be like having a good meal, laying down pussy and bussi. Every time I went to the gym, I'd suck or get sucked three times in the sauna and every time I went to clubs I'd find at least three girls I could eat out. The debauchery that I've enjoyed has been so fucking good and I've done it like breathing all my adult life.
But now that a pandemic is out there attacking the lungs, I'm back to feeling like a teenager. My lungs never fully recovered and a disease like COVID would kill me easily. Now I'm sexless and blue.
I need to jerk off 7 times a day and drink a shot of espresso every hour on the hour JUST TO FEEL ... like something that looks alive from 6 feet away.

Yes. I can't explain why. I almost know that her bullshit tantrums and chaotic personality will make a permanent relationship impossible for us, but I want to dive in and enjoy it at the moment, regardless of what happens in the future.

I see a grand madness, the beginnings of a mass descent.

Delusion, hysteria, false prophetry; all combined and placing us upon the precipice of a critically unstable moment.

Rage. Rage. Rage:

is what we need. Brotherhood and strength, acceptance of suffering for sake of great trembling beauty; unity with those worthy and no mercy for the waste.

Few are so lucky to live in such a time.

These words are not great though; I know that, I feel that. Yet we all feel what I strike at.

Let us not hide, but fight, aimed towards death an the Gods.

I think you should try and not think about the real problems that exist in the visible skyline. And, even if it is impossible and it collapses badly, it sounds like you each really care about each other. You should try to keep being there for each other whatever that means, hopefully you two can stay supportive and present for the other whether that means punch drunk love, or distantly holding each other accountable with long intermissions.

I think she does. I think it’s important to keep an open dialog and continue to care about each other, and then whatever happens happens.
